专辑简介

Eikanger-Bjorsvik is one of the most famous brass bands in Europe. Continuously improving and always seeking new musical worlds, the band has reached arenas where no band has been before. The span is enormous: They performed in the contemporary ballet "Lux Aeterna" at the Bergen International Festival. They have world premiered a long list of contemporary music for brass band. At the same time, they are renowned for their live entertainment shows, especially adapted to the band's many strengths. They were the first non-British band to claim the European brass band throne. Still they are the most successful contesting band in Norway. A strong series of recordings, radio and television broadcasts have made Eikanger-Bjorsvik a house-hold name in the cultural sphere of Norway. The band's history divides into two epoques: Before and after 1986, when Howard Snell first entered our band room. To this day, he has continued being our best motivator and musical influence.
